Simple Minds Stay Visible song lyrics

Stay visible

The road opens wide

And there is space here for two of us

If I could slip under the wire

We'd wait here

Just stay here while

Slumped, my body's tired and this fear

It never lets me sleep

In your smile

This trial elates

And in your eyes

I see mothers open gates

If fortune could smile

there'd be room here for two of us

And I would burn myself through the wires

With this hate

Concentrated

Unearthed

Disparate

All of this time

Once in a while

If peace held for two of us

Or if we could show mercy awhile

White patience

Transcending

This coldness, never ending, thru time

Because if home still matters

And if these bones,

were not so battered

What state then

I'm so desperate,

Stuck within a hollow shell, in some forgotten state

Come tear the dirt from my eyes
